Some musicians sing of love, others of pain, but only one is brave enough -- "brilliant" enough -- to take up the entirety of human history as his subject: Al Stewart. For more than 40 years, Stewart has been taking audiences on his own magical history tours filled with finely drawn character studies and detailed settings. Though perhaps best known for his international smash hit album "Year of the Cat", he has kept expanding his worldview with each new record. See him live in concert with rootsy indie rockers The Empty Pockets at The Canyon in Agoura Hills.

Nothing against Wilson Phillips it was the sound at the Canyon when the band was speaking you couldn’t hear a word they were saying and I was seated at a table back by the general admission but their singing was amazing the whole room was singing along like it was 1990 again
